(S)-Leucic acid ((S)-2-Hydroxy-4-methylpentanoic acid) is an α-hydroxy acid found in the fermentation products of Bacillus granulobacter pectinovorum. (S)-Leucic acid is an isomer of Leucic acid (HY-30216A) and a leucine metabolite. (S)-Leucic acid acts as a D-unit subunit precursor in the biosynthesis of cryptophycins in the Nostoc cyanobacterial symbiont. (S)-Leucic acid is used in metabolism-related studies.

(R)-2-Hydroxybutanoic acid is the isomer of 2-Hydroxybutyric acid (HY-113381), and can be used as an experimental control. 2-Hydroxybutyric acid (α-Hydroxybutyric acid ) is converted from 2-Aminobutyric acid, with 2-oxobutyric acid as an intermediate metabolite.

Acetoacetyl CoA sodium hydrate is the precursor of HMG-CoA in the mevalonate pathway. Acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase catalyzes the reaction to form acetoacetyl-CoA sodium hydrate from two acetyl-CoA molecules. Acetoacetyl CoA sodium hydrate is essential for cholesterol biosynthesis. Acetoacetyl-CoA sodium hydrate is also a intermediate in the biological breakdown and synthesis of fatty acids.

10-Hydroxydecanoic acid (10-HDAA) is a saturated fatty acid derived from 10-hydroxy-trans-2-decenoic acid, which can be isolated from royal jelly. 10-Hydroxydecanoic acid exhibits various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, insecticidal, anti-malarial, and anti-Leishmania properties, as well as enhancing antigen-specific immune responses. The anti-inflammatory effects of 10-Hydroxydecanoic acid are primarily mediated by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB and the translation of interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1), which reduces the production of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and nitric oxide (NO) in inflammatory cells. Additionally, 10-Hydroxydecanoic acid alleviates neuroinflammatory responses through the p53-autophagy pathway and the p53-NLRP3 pathway. Finally, 10-Hydroxydecanoic acid enhances antigen-specific immune responses by promoting the effective uptake of antigens by microfold cells.

Ricinoleic acid (purity≥99%), a hydroxy fatty acid, is an attractive feedstock for the production of high-performance lubricants, cosmetics, polymers, surfactants, and coatings. Ricinoleic acid is the main active ingredient of Castor oil (HY-107799). Ricinoleic acid is the agonist for prostaglandin EP3 receptor (EP3 receptor) (EC₅₀ in MEG-01 is 0.5 μM), that causes laxative effects and uterine contraction. Ricinoleic acid exhibits antianxiety-like, anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory properties.

5-Hydroxydecanoate sodium is a selective ATP-sensitive K⁺ (K_ATP) channel blocker (IC₅₀ of ~30 μM). 5-Hydroxydecanoate sodium is a substrate for mitochondrial outer membrane acyl-CoA synthetase and has antioxidant activity.

2-Hydroxy-2-methylbutanoic acid is a branched-chain fatty acid. 2-Hydroxy-2-methylbutanoic acid accumulates at high levels in the culture supernatants of colorectal cancer-associated bacteria. 2-Hydroxy-2-methylbutanoic acid is also present in the urine of patients with 2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria and maple syrup urine disease.

Leukotriene C4 is a eicosanoid lipid mediator and produced by immune cells during type 2 inflammation. Leukotriene C4 can mediate inflammation,allergy, bronchoconstriction, and vascular leakage.

Glutaryl coenzyme A lithium is an endogenous metabolite. Glutaryl coenzyme A lithium acts on the E2k subunit to inhibit KGDHc. It serves as a substrate for the reverse reaction of E2k and does not affect the E1k or E3 subunits of KGDHc. Glutaryl coenzyme A lithium exhibits weak inhibitory activity against citrate synthase. It can be used in research on glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (type I glutaric acidemia).

2-Hydroxyhexanoic acid is a metabolite. 2-Hydroxyhexanoic acid is elevated in metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. 2-Hydroxyhexanoic acid does not promote the proliferation, migration or invasion of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor cells. 2-Hydroxyhexanoic acid can be used in the research of metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Acetyl-coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA) lithium is a membrane-impermeant central metabolic intermediate, participates in the TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation metabolism. Acetyl-coenzyme A lithium, regulates various cellular mechanisms by providing (sole donor) acetyl groups to target amino acid residues for post-translational acetylation reactions of proteins. Acetyl Coenzyme A lithium is also a key precursor of lipid synthesis.

Sorbitan monooleate is a food emulsifier and can also be used as a pharmaceutical excipient. Sorbitan monooleate has good safety.

Myristoyl coenzyme A lithium is lithium-labeled myristoylated coenzyme A (CoA). Myristoylation is an essential process in viruses and is generally controlled by N-myristoyltransferase (NMT). And NMT is more active in colon epithelial tumors than in normal cells. Reduced Ccoenzyme A (CoA) is known to be a key regulator of NMT activity, whereas oxidized CoA does not allow NMT to promote myristoylation. Myristoyl coenzyme A blocks the demyristoylation process and has potential anticancer and antiviral mechanisms.

20-HEDE (WIT 002) is an antagonist of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE).

Octanoyl coenzyme A lithium is an enoyl-CoA hydratase binder. Octanoyl coenzyme A lithium binds to the active site of enoyl-CoA hydratase, occupies the binding pocket for the fatty acid tail of the enzyme's substrate, and induces a conformational shift in a flexible protein loop via its longer octanoyl chain, forming an open channel leading to the inter-trimer gap.
